Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This single arm study will evaluate the relationship between the skin toxicity of Tarceva in combination with gemcitabine, and survival, in patients with advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer. All patients will receive gemcitabine 100mg/m2 i.v. weekly; Tarceva will be administered 100mg po per day. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Rash, Grade <2

Participants with a rash graded less than (\<) 2 according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version (v.) 3.0 received erlotinib, 100 milligrams (mg), orally (PO), once per day until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or refusal of patient to continue with the treatment. Participants also received gemcitabine, 1000 mg per (/) square meter (m\^2), intravenously (IV), over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8 and 15 in 4-week cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or refusal of patient to continue with the treatment.
